Abstract
Masking is a concept that is used in audiology to yield the accurate threshold of the test ear. The ear's selection to be masked is based on the Weber test, which can be misleading in certain conditions. There is a need to explain the concept, which can help audiologists give an accurate diagnosis. Reverse masking is one such technique where the nonlateralized ear is masked to get the lateralized ear's precise threshold. This presentation attempts to explain this concept in clinical audiological practice and avoid the limitations of conventional masking procedures.
